The Japanese chef once owned a ramen shop. He open this joint to promote the beauty of Taiwanese beef noodles. His kombu beef bone broth is seasoned with sea salt and soy, not the herbs and aromatics that dominate the typical taste profile of the Taiwanese speciality. The beef cured in kombu and soy is tender and juicy; the springy noodles pick up the broth well. It tends to sell out, so come early.
